Looking over the Wizards career, I noticed a few tendencies from his drafts. The time span includes 2000-2004 in Seattle, and 2005-2010 in Green Bay.

First, Ted Thompson doesn't draft many secondary players under 5'11". Two (Curtis Fuller, 4th Round in 2001, Marviel Underwood, 4th Round in 2005) out of his fifteen Defensive Back selections have been under 5'11". Both played Safety.

Second, Teddy doesn't draft Wide Receivers under 5'11". Of the twelve he has drafted, only one (Darrell Jackson, 2001) is under 6' tall (he is 5'11"). Of those twelve, only two have been taller than 6'2" (Nelson and Alex Bannister a late pick). Also, Ted has yet to have a Wide Receiver drafted in the first three rounds bust. They include Jordy Nelson, James Jones, Greg Jennings, Darrell Jackson, Koren Robinson. (Murphy excluded)

Third, Ted Thompson has NEVER drafted a player in his 84 picks shorter than 5'10" or weighing over 340 pounds. Regardless of position. He really doesn't draft outside of expected sizes for players. No offensive tackles under 6'5" that didn't also play guard (Lang, Barbre, Colledge all 6'4"). No offensive tackles weighing over 320.

Fourth, going against what I just said; Ted isn't afraid to take a Flutie. five of the seven quarterbacks Ted Thompson has drafted have been 6'2" or less. None of them are better than Seneca Wallace or Matt Flynn, but he will draft them.

Not a lot of rare thinking from Ted based in his history. A lot of it could be chalked up to coincidence or just being the way a lot of teams draft. But it is the only evidence we have to go off of with Ted's thinking

Also, the largest tendency I found with Theodore's picks and Free Agent additions is character related and spiritual. Do the research for yourself on that or PM me for a hint..

The difference is that this is a FOOTBALL forum. Heated debates about FOOTBALL are expected and encouraged. If you want to discuss your cure for Ebola, try ebolasfuture.com or any other appropriate forum.

I recall seeing Bill Parcells being interviewed with someone from ESPN (Mike Tirico possibly) just prior to NFL draft time. They went position by position and had weight, height and other measurable of players that were successful over time (not sue how long). Basically prototype body types for each position.

Yes, that "spiritual" thing is pretty easy to read into. I know I can't say that he picks players of a certain religious belief, but if you look on the twitters of players Thompson drafts, 97 percent of them will mention a certain thing that I can't mention here that rhymes with Odd. If you unscramble the letters that spell dog, you might get the idea. Am I being too vague? Too specific?

Anyway, Thompson also goes SIZE in the first round. By that I mean other than Rodgers and Hawk, Thompson has always gone for the offensive line in his time in Green Bay (I don't think he had much power in Seattle as he does here). And there were no offensive or defensive linemen selected in the top ten that year after our pick and the next lineman to be drafted was Ngata at 13, but we were running a completely different defense then. So basically he passed on a tight end, two safeties and a worse linebacker that year in the top ten (and Leinart). I really think Hawk was the best player other than Ngata available to us until the 17th pick, Greenway.

Oh come on. You can do that in every draft. Ngata at 13 was a reach. At 5 would've been huge

This but not the reach at 13 part. When the Packers were OTC, the Packers had two obvious players and a third lesser option who might have been viewed as a reach with the players still available on the board. AJ Hawk and Vernon Davis were really the only two right choices._________________

I'm glad I'm not the only who who's noticed this over the years. It's insane how often it's true.
